fire wave,

strong wind,

rainstorm.

The power of the elements undergoes magical evolution in the alleys.

However, all scenes and energy fluctuations are isolated by the formation. Even if someone wants to enter the alley, they will be blocked at the entrance of the alley by the illusion, creating an illusion that they seem to have entered, but in fact they are lingering at the entrance.

The blood was washed away in the blink of an eye without leaving a trace, and the remaining impurities that could not be incinerated poured into the street outside with a gust of breeze.

Turned into floating dust.

at last.

The elements returned to the heaven and earth, so that the total amount of elements in this area did not decrease by one point, nor did it increase by one cent.

The filth accumulated in the alley was also cleaned away along with this purification, revealing the yellowed walls, which will inevitably arouse the suspicion of subsequent investigators.

But what Cheng Shen had to do was to clean up the traces of his actions so that they could not analyze them.

As for his actions of killing several people, it has become a fact.

Being weird.

This kind of thing,

Even if he could cover it up, it wouldn't change the Salvation Institute's view of him.

"It's time to go home."

Cheng Shen said.

He picked up a package filled with fresh offal. The package was camouflaged with a triple hallucination, as well as a formation that kept it fresh and frozen.

The moment he left the alley, an unclear figure walked out behind him.

Just like his shadow quietly disappearing into the darkness.

Dusk is getting darker.

The bloody sun hanging in the sky has been dyed black, like an abyss. The surrounding light is like the tentacles of an indescribable existence, spreading outwards, bringing out a large area of ​​darkness.

The darkness is gradually eroding and occupying the entire sky.

"You came back so late, why didn't you die outside?"

As soon as Cheng Shen returned home, he received a warm greeting from Marge.

He took a look and saw that Coin was still sitting at the dining table as motionless as a statue. The steaks placed in front of him were already cold. But as the night gradually fell, a wave of waves in his body seemed to be awakening.

That smell made Cheng Shen feel uneasy.

jingle……

Cheng Shen took out a money bag from his arms, and the clanking sound of metal colliding immediately drew Marge out of the greasy kitchen.

"Salary paid in advance."

Cheng Shen said succinctly.

"They paid you a salary before you even started working?!" Mag's eyes lit up. She walked over quickly, grabbed the purse and poured the coins inside on the table. The yellow copper coins rolled on the table.

collision.

"one two three……"

There are not many copper coins.

There are only ten pieces.

But there was a clear change in Mag's eyes when she looked at Cheng Shen.

"Are you sure this wasn't stolen or found?"

she questioned.

Cheng Shen just shook his head without retorting. Marge's face suddenly brightened after a moment of gloominess. She stretched out her dry palm to touch Cheng Shen's still intact half of her cheek, "My little Carl has finally grown up!"

Her sudden tenderness made Cheng Shen uncomfortable, like a smile hiding a knife.

But he still tried his best to cater to the performance.

In this family, Mago may be the weakest one, but she is the one who poses the greatest direct threat to him. Her every move and sudden thought may determine her life or death.

The key to survival in this family is to please her.

Fortunately, although she was moody, Cheng Shen had already grasped her weakness.

Margo is not greedy.

Cheng Shen can see this from her inner world.

She likes money, just out of a certain obsession, which may be closely related to her becoming what she is now. Cheng Shen couldn't find the reason in Karl's memory, but he only needed to meet her needs.

It is very profitable for him to exchange money for short-term safety.

Cheng Shen just collected a total of three silver and twenty-seven coppers from those four people.

It is enough to maintain the illusion of a loving mother and a filial son for a period of time.

And the magic dagger.

Although he doesn't like it.

However, a rare magic weapon can still be sold for a good price.

The man also mentioned that this was an heirloom from the family of his brother-in-law, a viscount.

This shows how scarce magic items are among ordinary people...

"From today on, your food standard can be raised to the same level as your father's, but only if you get the money back every week!"

Margo brought out a plate of barbecue in the kitchen.

The steak is grilled and fragrant.

Sizzling oil.

Cheng Shen didn't waste time thinking about what kind of creature this was.

He only knew that if he didn't eat, Mag would be angry, and his broken body also needed to eat to sustain life.

After replacing Coin with a plate of freshly grilled steaks, Mag mixed the cooled steaks into a pile of minced meat and entered her sister's room again carrying the plate.

Cheng Shen raised his head and glanced at it before concentrating on destroying the food.

It will get dark soon.

Dad is about to wake up too.

Carl's memory reminded him that he must return to the room before his father woke up.

If not, something terrible will happen.

Karl seemed to have forgotten it once before. Cheng Shen could not recall what exactly happened, and his memory was all broken.

Bang!

A crisp sound suddenly came from my sister's room.

Cheng Shen's heart tightened.

Immediately afterwards.

He heard a steady stream of curses coming from Mag, which probably meant the same as she usually cursed him. Mag's hysterical voice was like a crazy woman, and Cheng Shen could probably imagine her image at this moment.

Pointing at a weird nose and cursing...?

Cheng Shen shook his head slightly.

The anger Margo endured from him did not disappear, but was transferred to her sister.

I remember that she rarely got so angry with her sister in the past.

…it’s none of his business anyway.

Go back to your room immediately after eating.

Close the door.

Mag's curses could still be heard clearly through the crack in the door.

Cheng Shen sat down at his desk, took out a few unfinished puppets from his bag and started playing with them, as usual, while his mental perception silently enveloped the entire building and continued to spread to the surroundings.

winter!

The ancient and rich bells suddenly echoed in the city.

The night light shines into the window sill.

Thick darkness gradually filled the room like solid ink. Cheng Shen did not light a lamp and allowed the darkness to cover his body.

immediately.

Everything before his eyes became hazy.

It was like a heavy curtain was pressed down on his body, making it difficult to breathe. There seemed to be countless small hands constantly touching his body in the darkness, and his perception was restricted to a range of 100 meters.

"It's the ancient will that once watched me..."

Cheng Shen remembered it instantly.

When he received the mission from the Old City, he was once watched by a terrifying consciousness. At that time, this was how he felt.

He looked up and looked out the window.

At this moment, a huge and strange blood-colored eye opened on the dark sky. Bloody light flowed from the corner of its eye, like a falling sword. Its body was dark and narrow, like an abyss that could swallow all things.

"...There is something in the darkness that attracts me."

Cheng Shen's heart moved.

He had an inexplicable urge to enter the depths of darkness, as if something was calling him there.

"eccentric……"

Cheng Shen suppressed his thoughts.

At this time.

He suddenly felt a cold and terrifying breath coming from behind the door. Tables and chairs moved, and heavy footsteps sounded. The tall figure sitting cross-legged in front of the dining table finally woke up, and his breath was like a flood of beasts.

Clang…

Clang…

It walked around the room step by step, and the metal clanked under its large windbreaker.

Mag, who had always been irritable, lost her voice at this time.

She returned to her room, closed the door tightly, and Cheng Shen's perception overcame it, and she found that Mag was sitting on the edge of the bed with a gloomy look on her face, scissors in her hand, and her bloodshot eyes staring at the door in front of her.

.

"Is she afraid of daddy?"

Cheng Shen thought.

No,

More than just fear.

Margo hates Coin far more than she hates Carl and her sister.

If her hatred was divided into ten parts, he and his sister would probably only have one share, and the rest of the hatred would be directed at Coin.

Cheng Shen's perception wandered around the room without touching the awakened monster, monitoring everything. He only saw Coin slowly walking to Mag's door and reaching out to turn the door lock.

Click...

The door has been locked from the inside.

It turned a few times and then gave up without opening. In fact, it was not difficult to remove the door with his strength.

But it didn't do that.

After standing and thinking for a moment, Coyne turned around and walked to his sister's room not far away. He also reached out and tried to twist the door lock.

Click...

My sister's door was also locked by Mag.

"Next..."

Cheng Shen was sweating in his heart. According to the monster's actions, it would probably come to his room and try to open the door.

It was at this moment that he suddenly thought of something.

His room is unlocked!

Perhaps in order to make it easier for Mag to monitor Karl's actions, she removed the lock of her room! The memory that Karl passed down to Cheng Shen was very fragmented and messy, and then she suddenly jumped out and stabbed him in the back!

"Gan!"

Cheng Shen gestured silently in the darkness.

He stood up immediately, and Coin was already dragging heavy steps towards his room. The clear sound of footsteps was like a reminder. An invisible coldness seemed to have penetrated through the door, soaking his whole body as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"What did Carl do before?!"

Cheng Shen recalled at high speed in his mind.

Wardrobe!

He captured a key piece of information in that shattered memory. Cheng Shen immediately turned around and ran to the closet. The moment he opened the closet, a pale face suddenly came into view, which shocked Cheng Shen!

The Tibetan words almost blurted out.

He was forced back.

Cheng Shen looked at the puppet heads with facial features painted on them hanging in the closet and cursed in his heart. This Karl was definitely not a normal person before. Who has so many puppet heads in their closet without clothes?

Thinking in my heart.

Cheng Shen didn't dare to delay and hurriedly got into the closet.

Ding...

The moment he gently closed the closet door, the door was also twisted open.

call……

The smelly wind poured into the room with a chill, and the terrifying figure standing in the darkness stood in front of the door for a moment, seemingly observing, and then the footsteps began to approach.

Cheng Shen quickly gathered his senses.

Hold your breath and concentrate.

Several invisible spells were applied to him one after another, and even the sound of his heartbeat was muffled.

While nervous, he continued to dig through Karl's fragmented memory, looking for useful clues.

At this time.

He suddenly felt something touching his head.

It was said to be a touch, but in fact, when Cheng Shen restrained his senses and relied on his body's natural reaction to get feedback, a puppet head hanging in the closet had already opened its mouth and bit his face.

Cold arms like snakes stretched out behind him and under his feet, grabbing him and fixing him in place, unable to move.

In the dark.

Faces that were so white that it was scary floated towards him.

Damn, Carl has a bunch of horrible things in the closet!

Cheng Shen cursed in his heart.

He turned his head sideways to avoid the puppet's bite, but more puppet heads were still approaching him.

If you don't resist.

He will be killed by these puppets before Coin finds out!

Bang!

Heavy footsteps had already entered the house, and Cheng Shen could feel the fishy smell of the ferocious weapons under its windbreaker.

Golem?

friend?

He quickly remembered something.

These dolls were given to him by old Johnny. According to him, these dolls can become Carl's friends and protect him when he encounters danger. And Carl used to rely on them to survive the night.

But getting their help requires conditions...

Feeding?

Too bad.

Cheng Shen remembered the important condition. It was to feed them some other parts of puppet limbs before nightfall. The pile of discarded puppet bodies in his room was what Carl planned to use for this!

But he had no memory of this incident before.

It’s not Cheng Shen’s fault.

Because Karl's memory itself is fragmented and cannot be actively integrated with him, when Cheng Shen checks his memory, it is like using a search website. He must first encounter a problem before he can search to find the answer.

He didn't expect that this would happen again at night, so he didn't know how to deal with it.

But at this time, Cheng Shen thought quickly and immediately thought of a way to solve it.

Don’t these demon puppets need to be fed with puppet limbs?

It's all over him!

Card.

With a soft sound, his entire arm fell off. The demon puppets surrounding him immediately chased the arm and devoured it. One arm was not enough, so Cheng Shen offered another arm and a thigh.

"Eat, eat, eat! It's all for you!"

Formation cover.

No sound from the closet could be heard.

Cheng Shen was heartbroken and wanted to feed them the remaining leg. The closed cabinet door was suddenly pulled open.

Bang!

A head flew up and bit the cabinet door, preventing the door from being opened directly.

But the figure outside the door did not turn around and leave like before, but increased his strength.

"You guys should all go and help too!"

Cheng Shen stared.

I don't know if his urging had an effect or if the demon puppets were already full. The floating heads immediately rushed towards the cabinet door and bit the door tightly.

The force pulling the cabinet door became stronger and stronger, and finally, the entire cabinet was shaking.

Bang!

The cabinet was finally pulled down and smashed to the ground. Cheng Shen inside the cabinet was immediately thrown to pieces.

Then he heard the sound of Coin pulling out a sharp weapon from his waist.

"Still falling short..."

Sighed secretly.

The amount of food he fed to the demon puppets was much worse than usual, resulting in them not being strong enough to compete with Coin.

result.

He still has to be exposed.

Cheng Shen abandoned the idea of ​​defeat and gathered all his soul power to take action first, catching it off guard.

Sudden.

Angry curses came from outside the room.

"You useless piece of trash! You just sit at home and vent your anger on the children! You go and kill those damn bastards! If you could kill them, how could we end up like this!"

"waste!"

"You are just one of their domesticated dogs!"
